That's a sound article...I'd also like to add that he's going to face some major foreign policy hurdles in the near future, hurdles that he created himself by A) Deciding to open channels with all his enemies while at the same time B) Employing a bunch of deadlines on those enemies.

What will he do when those deadlines arrive? Issue more deadlines? Strongly worded rebukes? He's painting himself into a corner that empty rhetoric will not allow him to easily slide out of.

this all comes back to being too high minded and arrogant (Probably through inexperience) to simply try to tackle one or two tasks CORRECTLY at a time. Instead, he going to ruin many things at once.
